[PATCH net-next v3 01/12] ethtool: fix reference leak in ethnl_set_privflags()

[Michal Kubecek]

Andrew noticed that some handlers for *_SET commands leak a netdev
reference if required ethtool_ops callbacks do not exist. One of them is
ethnl_set_privflags(), a simple reproducer would be e.g.

  ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
  ethtool --set-priv-flags veth1 foo on
  ip link del veth1

Make sure dev_put() is called when ethtool_ops check fails.
